2024-11-04 15:28:13Richard shook his head and chuckled.
He knew Sabrina despised him. "Sabrina, let me show y—" He wanted to let Sabrina see the real him a bit, but she turned her back to him and walked to the parking lot. A white four-seat Porsche Panamera pulled up and stopped in front of them. A stunning young woman stepped out of the car with effortless grace, her elegant dress and sparkling jewelry enhancing her high-fashion allure. "Sabrina," she hugged Sabrina. "Laura, thanks for coming," Sabrina replied joyfully. "I came as soon as I could when I got your text." Laura smiled while eyeing Richard from head to toe and shook her head. Not a single item of value detected from head to toe. Apart from being a bit handsome and having a somewhat fitting body, this man was totally worthless. When Sabrina texted her and told her that she was forced to marry a loser and needed a helping hand, she had thought Sabrina was exaggerating. But seeing Richard in person made her realize how unlucky Sabrina was. Most of Sabrina's suitors usually carried around $250,000 on their bodies. However, this man here only carried $25 at most. “Richard, this is Laura, my best friend.” Sabrina suppressed her dislike and tried to sound polite. "Nice to meet you, Laura," Richard said, extending his hand to Laura out of politeness. However, Laura retreated, with obvious disgust in her eyes. “You know what? Riffraff should know their place.” She ignored Richard's hand and wrapped her hands around Sabrina instead. Richard chuckled coldly and dropped his hand. “Come on, we are already late for Carter Rogers’s event at the Noble Knight Club,” Laura smiled mischievously. Almost everybody in Vantican knew Carter Rogers was one of Sabrina’s most devoted suitors. Laura had always believed Carter would marry Sabrina. Carter’s father worked for Aaron Windsor, while Carter was the CEO of Biohealth Science, a company that supported Aaron Windsor's business. Apart from the giant tier, Windsor, there were four lower tiers in Vantican's wealth and richest realm. Carter's family could be called third-tier wealth, a level higher than Lansdowne wealth. Thus, from Laura's point of view, Carter and Sabrina were the perfect match. "Of course," Sabrina happily replied. "Richard, you should come with us." "Sure," Richard raised his brows. Maybe Sabrina, was still listening to her grandfather's wish to take him around. Meanwhile, Laura sneered to herself. She had already warned Carter Rogers in advance. Carter was livid and eager to teach Richard a lesson that would leave him reflecting deeply in a hospital bed. She would let Richard know he was a frog in the well, really not fitting the rich life and not fit into Sabrina’s lifestyle. "Let us go then." They entered Laura’s car, and she took them to the Noble Knight Club. It was one of the most exclusive martial arts clubs in the city for nobles and rich people only. No middle class could enter because of the price. Even the lowest tier of the rich in Vantican still thought this club was too expensive. If the lowest class came, they would be shocked to see how members could spend one year of their salary in one day only. When they arrived, Richard realized it was a martial arts and war machine club. Nowadays, martial arts were popular, especially swordsmanship, and most people knew some skills, more or less. "I can’t wait to see Carter during his match," Laura yelled and quickly dragged Sabrina toward the entrance of the club, leaving Richard behind. The automatic glass opened as it ran facial recognition for the members and the outside guard gave them a respectful bow. As Richard approached the entrance, the glass door shut right in front of his face. The guard sneered at him, "Drivers or servants aren't allowed in. Move along." Laura smirked as she pulled Sabrina away. "Let him learn his place; he’ll never be where we are." “Who told you I am a driver or a servant? I want to enter.” Richard said calmly. “Then become a member,” the guard yawned. “You think any Tom and lowlife like you can just walk in here? Leave now, or you’ll regret it."

Richard took out his smartphone and pressed the fast call number 9.“Good day, Mr. Royaland. I am Jennifer, your Majesty MasterCard personal concierge. How may I assist you?”“Do you know where I am right now?”“Yes, your card has GPS. You are at Vantican’s Noble Knight Club.”“I want to become a member.”“We are processing that now. You can use your MasterCard as the membership card,” Jennifer replied.The glass door suddenly opened.“Your membership has been approved. Do you need anything else, sir?”“No, thank you.”Richard put his smartphone in his pocket and walked into the club.The guard hurriedly blocked his path.“I think the system made an error. You cannot enter.”“I am a member here,” Richard explained. “Why do you think the system let me in?”The guard was confused but asked again, “Do you have a membership card? I want to check it. If you don’t have one, please leave.”Richard took out his Majesty MasterCard.The guard had never seen this kind of card before.“Sir, I do

"You talk as if you can beat me. Who do you think you are, a grand master?" Carter said with a smirk, "I doubt you have ever played this kind of game."Carter was confident that only wealthy men could afford such expensive toys, and Richard definitely didn't look like he could."There’s a first time for everything, right?" Richard shrugged casually.Carter laughed with contempt.It looked like victory were already assured.He touched his smartwrist, and a 3D hologram of a big mansion appeared."This mansion in West Vantican is mine. I bet on it. If you lose, you’ll divorce Sabrina."Carter had bought that house with his personal savings, thinking it would be the perfect place to take Sabrina to spent night together, not too far from her house.He was already imagining having two babies with her there. He was putting up his best house because he couldn’t fathom losing to a complete newbie."Deal," Richard replied with an air of calm."Then what are we waiting for? The sooner you div

When the system declared Richard the winner, the entire hall fell into stunned silence.They couldn’t believe their ears or eyes."How can a loser who barely knows the game win?" someone blurted out.Shock rippled through the room. Everyone had expected Richard to lose.After all, Carter was the highest-ranked player in Vantican!How could a newbie win him? Impossible!"There must be a mistake, right?" another person muttered.As Richard exited the room, with Melissa following him, people noticed something unusual—his gaming suit.It’s the latest, most expensive gaming suit, equipped with AI assistance.A newbie could become a master by activating the AI. Originally designed for military use in war, it’s now a game-changer in the virtual world.Seeing that super expensive gaming suit for the first time, their surprise quickly turned to anger."You cheated! That suit must’ve boosted your fighting skills," someone shouted."Yeah, no way a newbie could win without cheating," another vo

What the fuck?!!!"Here comes the king of braggarts again! Can’t you just stop boasting?" Sabrina scoffed. "You’re only embarrassing yourself!"One of Carter's friends called out. “Hey dude, the banquet’s off. Know why? Because I wasn't invited, so they cancelled the whole thing.”His tone was so amusing that everyone burst out laughing.He sneered at Richard, “Boo! Shame on you, man! Trying to act like you know something.”“Listen, Richard, whatever you’re trying to pull, we’re not buying it,” Laura said.Richard knew hardly anyone would believe him, but he tried to tell his wife anyway. It was up to her whether to believe him or not.Suddenly, Carter’s smart wrist device buzzed.“Hey, silence please,” Carter asked the group and shot a smug look at Richard. “My dad’s calling. Probably about the banquet.”The room went quiet as Carter switched on the speaker.They pricked up their ears to the latest news of the banquet while looking at Richard with a sarcastic expression.“Father

However, before Richard replied, his phone rang suddenly, catching everyone’s attention. He glanced at the screen and moved to a corner to take the call.A few others glanced over, and one burst into laughter."You guys won’t believe this,” someone said, chuckling. “That dude’s trying to scam all of us. Guess who just called him? Aaron Windsor! Can you believe that?”“For real? He went that far? Thank God we know he's just a king of scum.”Richard answered the call, his voice low and serious.“I’m sorry to disturb you, young master. My daughter's condition suddenly worsened,” Aaron Windsor’s desperate voice came through the speaker.“I don’t know what else to do except to ask for your help,” the voice continued, trembling with worry.“Pick me up. I’m at the Noble Knight Club.”“Yes, sure! Thank you very much, young master. I really appreciate your kindness. I’ll send someone to pick you up right now.”Richard ended the call and turned to Melissa.“I’m sorry, but I have to decline yo

A few minutes after Richard arrived at Windsor's mansion, the old butler, already waiting at the entrance, greeted him."Respected Sir Richard, Master Aaron asks for forgiveness as he has not returned home yet. He asked me to guide you in checking Miss Jillian’s condition.""No problem, take me to her," Richard replied.The butler led Richard through the luxury long hallways. As they approached Jillian's room, a sharp, sterile medical smell filled the air.An older woman was already pacing back and forth there anxiously.Upon seeing Richard, she immediately turned and rushed to him.It was Jillian Windsor’s mother, Julia Windsor."Doctor, please help my daughter!" Julia pleaded desperately.“Calm down. No need to worry."Richard saw a young woman lying still on the bed, her breathing shallow and labored.She appeared to be in her early twenties, her once-beautiful features now overshadowed by a sickly pallor.Her face was ashen, her body trembling uncontrollably, and tears clung to h

Dr. Jacob added.“Young lad, it’s fine if you lack ability, but you’d better not speak recklessly. Not only does it make you look foolish, but it also delays others.”“Doctor Jacob, please treat my sister. Don’t listen to this bastard.” Caleb snarled, pushing Richard away.“Who is this young man, anyway?”Caleb looked at Richard with great disdain.“Never mind, Doctor Jacob. He is just a scammer who scammed my father.”“You’re wrong. I came because Aaron asked me.” Richard calmly said, “By the way, do you want me to treat her or not?”Julia hesitated, torn between her husband’s wishes and Jillian’s condition.She glanced between Dr. Jacob, who had treated many famous people, and the young man barely older than Jillian.“You are still young,” she spoke. “Let Doctor Jacob treat my daughter.”“You heard my Mom, right?” Caleb said. “Now fuck off so Doctor Jacob can start.”“Go ahead then,” Richard coldly stated.Dr. Jacob sneered. "Listen, young man. If you think you can use me as a ste

At the mansion entrance, the butler bowed to Richard, his posture respectful.“I’m sorry for your trouble. Please, don’t take it to heart.”“No worries,” Richard replied.Suddenly, two bodyguards rushed out.“Stop there and follow us back to the room, or we’ll shoot,” one barked, their hands reaching for their weapons.Without hesitation, the butler struck both bodyguards across the face.They staggered back, stunned.“Fools,” the butler growled.“This young man is Mr. Windsor’s guest. Mind your words, or I’ll kill you both.”The bodyguards turned even paler.They had never seen the butler this angry and didn’t even realize how they were struck.They had heard the butler was once a feared assassin.“We... we’re sorry,” one of the bodyguards stammered.“But Miss Jillian’s condition is critical, and Dr. Jacob said this man poisoned her.”The butler’s eyes narrowed, his voice icy. “So, that idiot made a mistake and now wants to blame someone else?”He turned to Richard and bowed deeply,

Faced with Sabrina's doubts, Aaron remained motionless. He nodded, his gaze unwavering.“It was thanks to Richard’s efforts—his connections, his work—that Sabrina was given the opportunity to be here today.”“I am personally grateful to him. After all, he’s the one who saved my daughter when she was gravely ill.”The crowd gasped. Whispers spread like wildfire.“Who exactly is this Richard?” “Richard? Never heard of that name before…” “Carter just got publicly humiliated by Mr. Windsor…”The audience buzzed with chatter. Sabrina’s face turned pale. Standing on the stage, she was at a loss for what to do.Her eyes darted toward Richard, and then back to Carter.“But... but...” Sabrina stammered. “But Carter... you told me... you said—"“Yes,” Richard interjected, his voice calm but tinged with a hint of mockery.“Carter told you that he did all of that. He’s lying.”A hush fell over the room. Sabrina’s heart sank as she realized how badly she had been deceived.She had believed ever

“Dad, did you pull the strings for this? Did you make sure Sabrina got on the list?”There was a long pause on the other end of the line before Carter father finally spoke.“Ah? Don’t bother me! We’re still handling the financials. Who cares about you!”With a sharp “beep” the call ended.The room went deathly quiet. Carter’s face turned crimson.“Could it really just be a coincidence?” Carter murmured, a trace of doubt flickering in his mind. If it wasn’t his father, then who could it have been? “Carter, what exactly did your father say on the phone? Why don’t you share it with everyone?”Richard remarked, his tone dripping with mockery. In truth, Richard had heard every word of the conversation. His hearing was remarkably sharp, and nothing escaped him.“I’ve confirmed it. My dad said he handled it!" Carter blurted out confidently, trying to reclaim his pride.Jillian couldn’t hold back her disdain any longer. She rolled her eyes, a smirk on her lips.“You’re really something, Ca

Sabrina showed a look of disbelief and said: “Then was it you who helped me? You’re useless, so why do you think others are the same as you?”Carter and Laura overheard Richard’s comment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Richard, are you blind? Didn’t you see that after I sent a text, Sabrina got the spot?” Carter mocked proudly. “Exactly. People like Richard who are so low and useless shouldn’t even be here,” Laura chimed in. “You still dare to question Carter? What about that rich woman you were with? Why don’t you go back to her instead of bothering us?”Laura’s voice grew louder with each word. Richard looked at the emotionally charged group in front of him and sneered. “Then I’d like to ask to see what Carter has to offer! “Richard looked at them.“Carter’s ability to get Sabrina to take the spot with a random text message, isn’t that something?” Laura interjected first. “Sabrina, don’t trust this guy who is full of lies,” Carter encouraged. Hearing all this, Sabrina turned t

The announcement for the evening event officially began.All eyes were on the stage. At this moment, Sabrina was extremely nervous. She clasped her hands together over her chest, fingers intertwined.Then closed her eyes in silent prayer. Seeing this, Carter leaned closer to her ear and whispered confidently.“There’s absolutely no problem!” Sabrina frowned slightly and nodded.The host on stage spoke: “Now, I will announce the names of the candidates...” Sabrina was on the edge, her heartbeat so loud it felt like it might burst out of her throat! “Martin Family Enterprises…”“Baker Group…”The host announced one name after another.The crowd's applause echoed throughout the venue. The executives of announced companies rose from their seat, offering friendly nods to those around them.“Only one spot left... will it really be me?” Sabrina thought anxiously, her toes curling tightly against the floor in nervous anticipation. In contrast to the excitement around her, Sabrina felt

“Four...three need to be selected...” Jillian looked at Sabrina’s information thoughtfully.“Miss, are you thinking of choosing Lansdowne Group?” The butler poked around.“Although she meets the requirements, I don’t like her.”Actually, she was a little jealous that Sabrina had become Richard’s wifeShe didn’t want to give her the candidate spot.But Jillian also knew that acting petty would only make her appear small-minded to Richard.“Understood, I will remove her name immediately!”“There’s no rush, why don’t you show the information to Mr. Royaland and let him decide.” Jillian said with a smirk.“Yes.” The butler didn’t ask more questions and left.There were still 20 minutes before the official list was announced.Sabrina overheard a conversation at the next table.The people were saying that the candidate spots had already been decided!Sabrina couldn’t hold back her curiosity.She leaned over to ask the people at the next table:“Excuse me, have you heard if Lansdowne Group m

Richard sensed the situation was spiraling.“Let’s go back inside,” he suggested to Jillian.“Alright. I need to go handle the candidates’ matters.”“Then see you later, Sabrina.” Jillian said, giving a polite nod before she left.“Sabrina, let’s head to the banquet hall," Richard suggested after watching Jillian leave.“Don’t come near me,” Sabrina snapped impatiently, shooting Richard a glare before turning sharply on her heel and storming off toward the hall.Seeing Richard only deepened her frustration.Richard and that woman, Jillian…Whether she could secure the nomination today…All these thoughts swirled in her head, fueling her irritation. Richard followed at a measured pace, watching Sabrina’s hurried strides.The sharp clatter of her high heels echoed through the hallway. He couldn’t help but smirk to himself. “This woman… will she ever develop some proper judgment?” Suddenly, the clacking heels stopped. Sabrina halted abruptly. “Can you stop following me?

Sabrina and her group returned to Sabrina's mansion.Two hours before the charity banquet Sabrina paced anxiously.She had just heard from Carter that Lan was attending tonight too.If Richard showed up, there could be trouble.Carter took Sabrina aside, his expression serious.“Look,” he began, his voice low.“You know Lan doesn’t let things go easily. If Richard is there, it could get messy fast.”Sabrina frowned, trying to shake off a growing sense of dread.“But he wouldn’t pick a fight there, would he?” she asked, as if convincing herself.Carter shook his head, feigning exasperation.“You know better than that. The last thing you want is for Richard to provoke him and cause a scene.”"Richard will affect your candidacy results!" Carter added.Sabrina thought for a moment and then agreed.Thought of Richard getting dragged into another confrontation made her stomach twist.Sighing, she walked towards Richard.“I’m not taking you to the banquet tonight,” she said abruptly.“Stay h

As Carter walked into the boutique, he took in the situation with a keen eye, sensing the tension in the air.“Sorry! I had just finished handling company matters.”Carter said to Sabrina and Laura.Meanwhile, Sabrina was still in a state of panic, fretting about what might happen next.She was deeply concerned that Richard’s confrontation with Lan would lead to a serious backlash.Her mind raced, and she quickly turned to Carter for help.After telling Carter about what had just happened, she began:“Carter,” Her voice desperate, “I need your help. I don’t care what the cost is, I’ll pay any compensation needed, just please, help protect Richard.”Carter inwardly scoffed, his lips curling into a slight smirk, finding some twisted amusement in Richard’s reckless move.However, he kept his expression neutral, choosing to play along.“I’ll do what I can,” he replied smoothly.Richard stood there, both amused and touched by Sabrina’s concern.Despite her misunderstandings about him, her

The words shattered the last remnants of Laura’s patience. Her face twisted with hurt and disgust as she looked at him, her heart sinking.He wasn’t the man she thought he was; he was weak, willing to abandon her dignity and safety for his own comfort. It was almost too much to bear.Emma’s laughter filled the air, mocking and cruel. “I told you,” she crowed, her voice dripping with satisfaction.“He’s no man, just a pathetic little coward. Can’t even stand up for his own girlfriend!” She turned to Laura, her smile widening. “Looks like I win, doesn’t it?”“We’re done.” Laura hissed to Mike, her voice shaking. “You’re just a spineless, sniveling little coward. Don’t ever come near me again.”Sabrine could see the pain in Laura’s eyes. She stepped forward.“That’s enough,” she said coldly to Emma and Jason, her voice steady despite the fury raging within her. “I don’t care who you think you are or who you know. We’re done here.”But Jason merely chuckled, clearly amused by her
